SAP Engineering Change Management(ECM)

The document provides an overview of SAP Engineering Change Management (ECM). It describes the ECM process which is triggered by customer requests and involves design engineers, industrial engineers, and change management. Key aspects of ECM covered include engineering change requests/orders, the use of effectivity parameters to define when changes take effect, digital signatures for approval, and change hierarchies to structure changes. Workflows and release controls are used to manage the ECM process.
